Description
Offering products or services, that satisfy customer's needs and stand out amongst competitors, has become an increasingly tough challenge for many companies today. To successfully master that challenge, it is vital to understand user's needs and tasks, the involved stakeholders, the target market, but also the technology involved and its implications. Usability Engineering offers a number of different tools and methods to solve those problems and gather the required information.
